This is so true. I can't believe that happened, Tim, who would have thought such a thing. I don't even know what to say. Maybe _this_ is why you unexpectedly bought the foal earlier, because there would still be a horse in your life, needing you.
 
Any chance you can get the foal from her? I know you said you don't own the foal, but was wondering, given the circumstance would the owner of the foal be willing send her to you or have a future baby that was a grand daughter or son frome her?
 
Tim...words cannot say how sorry I am...damn...she was just a wonderful beautiful angel, and now she's waiting at the bridge...
and it's not fair....

I know (((HUGS))) won't help...
and I know my thoughts and prayers won't help....
but you have them anyway...

I'm so sorry.....

I know your pain, of losing that special horse, and my heart really goes out to you.
My most heartfelt condolences, Tim.
 
hey tim,

im so sorry for your loss my friend!
let me know if you ever want someone to talk to mate you know im here for you!

sorry again tim, your in my thoughts buddy.
 
Sorry to hear about your loss, Tim. Sounds like you two had a special bond. Hang in there, my friend.
 
You know you people are truly the best with all your well wishes. It all means so much. I am still crying here so much for her. It is truly going to be awhile to get past this. I loved this horse so much. She was my friend & companion & protector at times even.
I will share another special thing Kay Cee did that made her so special to me. On days when I had to clean her stall with her in it, well what normally should have been a 10 minute clean could last up to 45 minutes. Why you wonder. It was because Kay Cee would keep circling me if I put my back to her & pressing on me to demand a good scratching. And you had to give her a proper scratching all over or she would not leave you alone. And if I was uupset about something & ignoring her demands. Well she would do this funny thing, I would be lost in thought over what was bothering me and all of a sudden I would have a face looking up at me.
She would bow her head & look up at me if I had my head down as if to say "whats wrong". She reminded me of and owl the way she did this. We had a strong bond together, much more so than your average person/ horse relationship. Kay Cee knew me well & I her.
I am crying again finishing this & have know idea how to move forward. Thank you all again for your kind words.
 
Aww dude, Tim I'm so sorry. My condolences.

We haven't spoken in ages either, we should have a proper catch-up soon mate.

All the very best, and stay strong.
 
Thats really tough to go through. I feel for you so much and I hope you start to feel better soon. I have always loved horses with a passion and hope one day to be able to own some, but I can't imagine losing one, especially one you've made so close a bond with. Take care of yourself!
 
Ypu have my deepest, deepest condolences Tim! She sounds like she was an absolute beauty! I think she was very lucky to have a "Dad" like you! I think you were lucky to have such a wonderful mare. I know that your time in this world, with her, may have been short, but the time in your heart, will go on forever. Never forget that!

You take care of yourself and I will keep you in my thoughts!

Thanks everyone again. I just was talking to Lori (LBoz) on the phone about Kay Cee. And I was telling her the story of how Kay Cee came to be. She thought I should share it.
The year was 1996. And a friend of mine at the barn where I kept Sandy, Kay Cee's mom had just had her mare bred & though it would be good if Sandy had a foal the same year so the babies would have each other to play with. Well we started looking through the Paint Horse Journal for stallions. She helped me pick out a stallion named Major leaguer. He was standing in California at the time. APHA had just approved transported cooled shipped semen. So this was a real east meets west breeding. I remember like it was yesterday having to go to the airport to pick it up. And the look I received from the baggage/ claim department when I told them what it was. It was listed as Biological materials but not what it was. Well that was like at 6:30 am in the morning, my vet arrived around noon to do the insemination. I remember hopping Sandy took, because Transporting semen was still new at the time. When I came home from the barn that evening I settled in to watch some T.V., don't you know the movie "Look Who's Talking Know" comes on. Well at the beginning of the movie with the funny bit of all the sperm racing towards the egg. That & them fighting & talking to see who would make it first had me laughing. I took it as a sign that Sandy was in foal. Sure enough at 16 days she was confirmed in foal. At 30 days we had another ultra-sound done. My vet brought the camera & took a picture for me. I was so proud at that moment. I knew it was going to be a filly too. I named Kay Cee then. Her reg name was Kay Cee Sands. Well my vet also gave me a growth chart on how the foal would grow. So between showing off the ultra-sound picture & telling people the baby is the size of a golf ball today, then hey my foal is the size of and orange with limb bubs starting to show. And so on through the whole pregnancy. People where like do not ask him or get him started on talking about that foal. Kay Cee was born April 29, 1997. We had a lot of snow that year, even right into spring. The day Kay Cee was born was a beautiful spring day. She weighed in at 100 pounds. She was a large girl & I remember watching Sandy have her. She was so tired that I decided to help her. I pulled a little bit everytime Sandy pushed. Kay Cee saw me first before even her mom. My friend was outside the stall taking pictures of this whole event transpire. All the while Sandy was pregnant people would ask what do you want. I would say a Tobiano (a paint pattern). Folks who didn't know this would be confused so I would just say I want a "Little Joe" horse like Joe Cartwright from the T.V. series Bonanza rode. Well Kay Cee was a beautiful Palomino. She did not get her daddy's spots. Well while I was helping Sandy deliver her my friend was laughing at me because I kept saying where is my "Little Joe" horse. Just something else to share the bond I had with Kay Cee. I still cannot believe I lost my beautiful girl.
